Sandomir named Rodel Exemplary Principal The Rodel Foundation of Arizona has recognized M.C. Cash Principal Lisa Sandomir as a Rodel Exemplary Principal. She was recognized for her demonstrated ability in leading Cash to success by inspiring staff to develop a campus that is high achieving, safe, orderly and welcoming. After being nominated for the award, representatives from Rodel visited the Cash campus and interviewed selected staff members before naming her a finalist. Ms. Sandomir will now mentor other Rodel Aspiring Principals so they are better prepared to lead their own schools.
